#98 of 195 2005 2500HD trailer connector wiring by skipduty Jan 11, 2008 (8:01 am)
I do not have the +12 vdc at the trailer connector. I'm sure that it's fused but I can not seem to find it in the owners manual. Any suggestions on where the fuse is or any other possible ideas?

Replying to: kleinauto (Feb 16, 2008 7:40 am) GM site has the 5th wheel capacity on the 6.0 with 3.73 gears as 12200-12700 depending on cab and wheelbase. Which model Kubota are you towing, L-series or larger? With a machine that heavy, I'd imagine you need a tri axle trailer? I don't think the diesel on the 2500hd could pull it either. The 3500 series with the dual rear wheels and 5th wheel max out around 15K. You might be able to pull it off. Just remember, under certain condition you might be able to do it with your current rig, but not legally. If anything went wrong, you would be a world of trouble with a tow vehicle not able to handle the load. I'm talking legally and physically. You have to be able to stop the darn thing. So often I hear of guys pulling too much weight. Remember from high school physics class, an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Be safe. Better to contract out the tow than put yourself in harms way. Replies to this message: kcram (Feb 17, 2008 2:44 pm)

Replying to: asylum575 (Feb 17, 2008 2:40 am) I agree completely with asylum. My Ram 3500 DRW with Cummins and 3.73s maxes at 13,000 pounds. The Kubota and trailer should be behind a class 6 that won't notice them. kcram - Pickups Host
#105 of 195 Re: Problem with brake lights on Travel Traler [luggage] by newfound Mar 07, 2008 (12:26 pm)
Replying to: luggage (Nov 15, 2007 11:02 pm) I was wondering if you got a resolution to this problem. I am having a similar one with my 2003 2500 Sierra. A trailer dealer told me that this is a common problem especially with the 03's and it goes back to the clock spring in the steering column. So I am interested in finding out if yours was resolved with the hazard flasher as others had suggested.
#106 of 195 Horn Problems by yerardic Mar 19, 2008 (7:41 am)
I am hoping someone could help me out. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado, and I am having a problem with my horn. When I turn my steering wheel it wheel let out an intermittent honk or a prolonged honk. It just does it intermittently. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the problem? Replies to this message: obyone (Mar 19, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: yerardic (Mar 19, 2008 7:41 am) Sounds like some frayed wiring in your steering wheel causing the wires to make contact when you turn thus enabling the horn. Looks like you're going to have to take apart that steering wheel.
